An Application has been received from Orenda Wildlife Land Trust Inc. seeking $100,000 in Community Preservation Open Space Funds for the acquisition and preservation of a 5.5-acre property on Smith's Creek, a major tributary of the Barnstable Great Marsh in West Barnstable. The total purchase price is $400,000 with matching funds to be provided through a State Conservation Grant and private fundraising. Acquisition of this property would continue the decades-long effort by the Town of Barnstable, State Fish and Game, Barnstable Land Trust and Grenda to preserve this major Cape Cod Bay embayment. The property is a priority habitat for rare species and its preservation would protect the freshwater and tidal wetlands lying within 300 feet. The Town of Barnstable will co-hold the conservation restriction with Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trust.
